A family of three travels through time together, and the golden finger is turned on
Chapter 436: Resentful Girl Town
Gu Liang and Ji Xiaoju made a plan and quickly applied for the skipping grade exam.
Gu Can continued his copy journey.
The scene this time is quite creepy.
Gu Can looked up and saw the ghost marriage venue, draped in a bleak white. Paper figures of boys and girls swayed in the wind, creaking and creaking as if ready to spring to life. Red candles flickered, their light casting a hazy shadow all around, exuding an indescribable eeriness.
The bridal sedan stopped in the center of the courtyard, its curtains tightly closed, as if a pair of eyes were peering out from within, watching everything outside. Thick fog hung all around, and through it, one could vaguely see figures dressed in ancient mourning clothes walking back and forth. Their faces were as pale as paper, their eyes hollow and lifeless.
In the distance, paper money fluttered like snowflakes, piling up in a thick layer on the ground. And then there was the sobbing sound of the suona, its tone mournful and eerie, like a wail from the depths of hell.
The ground beneath my feet was damp, perhaps from dew or something else entirely. The wind picked up, lifting the white banners, which fluttered in the air like the long sleeves of ghosts.
The altar was filled with various offerings: apples gave off a rotten smell, and the roasted chicken was a dull grey, as if it had been sitting for a long time. The incense burner before the tablet was filled with incense sticks, and the smoke curled up into strange, twisted shapes, like faces in agony.
Next to the sedan chair, a black cat sauntered past, its back hunched. Its green eyes flickered in the darkness, and it would occasionally stop to lick its paws, keeping a vigilant eye on its surroundings. With each step, its paws rustled softly on fallen leaves, a sound that was particularly clear in the silence of the ghost marriage.
At that moment, several people in mourning clothes slowly approached the bridal sedan. The leader extended a withered hand and slowly lifted the curtain. As the curtain opened, a gust of cold wind blew in, carrying with it a stench of decay. Inside sat a woman in wedding attire, her face covered by a red cloth. Her hands rested quietly on her knees, her exposed skin so white it was almost translucent.
A sudden shriek echoed nearby. The black cat, provoked by something, its fur bristled and it attacked the sedan chair. The mourners seemed furious, and one of them raised a leg to kick the black cat. But the cat dodged, leaping directly onto the altar, knocking over the incense burner. Ashes scattered everywhere, and the strange smoke instantly dissipated considerably.
At this moment, a sudden thunderclap sounded in the sky, and lightning flashed across the sky, briefly illuminating the entire ghost marriage site. In the light, Gu Can seemed to see two sharp fangs exposed under the red cloth of the bride.
The eighteenth day of the first lunar month is an auspicious day, and sorghum is carried.
Gu Can’s identity this time is the bride’s mother-in-law.
She had a lot to say about this identity, but in the end, it all came down to one simple sentence: "Bah!"
This copy is really enough. The Huang family in the town had ten daughters and only one son. The son grew up to be an uneducated man who played around at a young age. The maids in the family died every now and then.
Retribution came, the body was drained and he died of a cold.
The Huang family hadn't realized the severity of the situation. According to their son's preferences, they would buy a woman every month and send her to accompany their son in a ghost marriage. The family was already wealthy, but to meet their son's expenses, they even sold their first ten daughters.
It doesn't matter where you sell it, as long as you pay enough money.
Too many women died in the Huang Mansion, and all the resentment was concentrated, giving birth to a resentful woman. This woman was born out of resentment, so naturally she came to the Huang Mansion. After entering the mansion, strange things happened frequently.
The mistress immediately summoned a master to perform a ritual to seal the innocent women in the pond. Naturally, the resentful woman's strength was greatly reduced, and she was no match for the master. What Gu Can didn't understand was that the cheat sheet for this dungeon stated that the only way to clear it was to kill the resentful woman.
Gu Canggao sat on it, waiting for the ceremony to be completed.
Everyone was startled by the thunderclap, but order was quickly restored. Several bearers carried the sedan chair around the field, then it landed steadily in the center. Then, two elderly men in strange attire slowly emerged, one holding a spirit-calling banner, the other carrying a plate of grains.
The people holding the soul-calling banners were chanting around the sedan chair, as if they were summoning some evil creatures; while the person holding the tray grabbed the food on the tray and scattered it around, shouting auspicious words every time he scattered a handful, but the sound seemed particularly strange in this gloomy atmosphere.
Then, someone brought a rooster, cut off its comb, and dripped its blood onto the ground in front of the sedan chair, drawing strange talismanic shapes. At this time, the wind whistled, blowing up the bride's skirt, and beneath it, a pair of pale, paper-like feet with long, sharp nails were faintly visible.
Then, four maids approached the sedan chair, their eyes lowered and their faces expressionless. Two of them lifted the curtain in front, while the other two reached in, cautiously as if they were supporting something precious.
Slowly, a "bride" in a blood-red wedding dress appeared. She wore a phoenix crown and a red veil covering her face, but the chill emanating from her made those around her shiver.
The "bride" was supported and walked towards Gu Can step by step. Her feet seemed to carry the breath of death. With each step, a faint black footprint was left on the ground. When she walked to Gu Can and stood still, the air around her seemed to freeze.
The old woman presiding over the wedding trembled as she picked up a red string, tied one end to the wrist of the paper figure representing the groom, and extended the other end to the "bride." Just as the red string was about to touch the "bride," a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the entire venue.
With the help of the light, Gu Can once again saw the green light flashing under the veil of the "bride", which was a pair of eyes full of hatred.
After the ceremony, the bride was sent to the bridal chamber.
Gu Can felt that this dungeon was very strange, so he opened the clearance guide given by his parents again. The name of this dungeon was "The Town of Resentful Women".
Everyone thinks that the ultimate secret to passing the level is the resentful woman. She is the result of the resentment of all the innocent women who died in the town. She came with resentment and was chosen to be the bride of the ghost marriage, which was also intentional.
It seems that after she entered the mansion, strange things happened frequently, so the wife of the official invited a master to perform a ritual.
However, after watching this wedding, I realized that the existence of this resentful woman was definitely not accidental. Someone had done it on purpose.
Gu Can carefully read the clearance guide given by his parents, and found that he could clear the level by killing the monk. Sure enough, there was something wrong with this dungeon.
She put away the strategy guide and played her role calmly. Three days later, Gu Can followed the storyline of the official's wife in the dungeon and went to Huangshan Temple outside the town to invite the enlightened monk.
The ghost marriage was held three days ago, and the gloomy courtyard now looks a lot more normal. The altar utensils for the ritual are set out, and when the monk sits there, it seems that he has really dispelled some of the gloom.
The monk pretended to start the ritual.
The monk chanted a spell while striking the wooden fish in his hand. Gu Can stood by and watched coldly, secretly wondering what the monk was up to. Suddenly, the wooden fish in the monk's hand emitted a dazzling light and rushed towards the bridal chamber. Then, a miserable cry came from inside, as if the resentful woman had been severely injured.
This monk seems to be exorcising evil spirits, but in fact he is harming the resentful woman.
